And saying that they should make things recoverable is not saying that they should change things? Again, if you weren't referring to Savage, what were you referring to? You already gave an example of how content in the game is recoverable. So, you were clearly referring to some other content. The pussyfooting is real.

You were either just blatantly wrong because the content is very recoverable or you're talking about Savage. I don't care which way you go. You are wrong about something either way.

And you bring up DS3. What happens when you mess up repeatedly in DS3? You die and you have to start the fight from scratch again. It's punishing you for failures. You learn the fight, you learn the patterns, you execute your strategy, hopefully you don't make too many mistakes, and you win. Sounds familiar.

Nothing is unfair in FFXIV's raid content. Mechanics have a clear, and often simple way of dealing with them. No damage -- early progression or not -- will just kill you when dealt with properly. You can have a bad strategy and many clearing statics do. You can make mistakes -- just not too many and not on crucial mechanics.
